Overview

The Variable List below consists of final public String (i.e., constants) that you can use to access the properties during the installation.

All of these variables return a string which can be used as the first parameter to getPropertiesList().getProperty (), getPropertiesList().setProperty(), getPropertiesList().getBooleanProperty(), and getPropertiesList().setBooleanProperty().

The type of the return value for each Property's value is included in the description of the property. In other words, the return value is not showing what the item (e.g., ApplicationDirectory) returns, but instead shows what getPropertiesList().getProperty(ApplicationDirectory) returns.

For those who are manually configuring the platform.properties files, all property names are lower/upper case. In other words, the constant ApplicationDirectory translates to applicationDirectory in the platform.properties file itself.
